Last week, the wrapping paper design that recreates each
part of a cheeseburger, by stacking layers of sesame seed bun, beef patty, cheese,
lettuce and tomato in a coordinated set, was the top food post on Tumblr.

The set by Gift Couture in New York was created by graphic
designer Sarah Fay and Justin Cult - and the design duo are relying on crowd-sourced funds to
get their start-up company off the ground.

The company will produce unique papers that ‘coordinate
together into conceptualized themes and sets’,according to their website.

The gift wrap contains original photography and is the first coordinated and themed set from their company.

The wrapping paper isn’t available for purchase yet, but you can
help the fledgling start-up by donating pre-order funding to get the project
off the ground.If they are successful in
their launch, they will release additional sets when can be purchased online
and through their partners.

So far they have over 350 backers and almost £6,400 (US$10,000) in
funding.
